Dulce De Leche Pie
December 31, 2008 – 7:40 pm
It’s almost holiday season and it’s the time when we start planning who will cook what and when. Ready to try something completely new and delicious? Try this pie! With only 4 ingredients and a pie crust you’ll be done baking in no time.
Call it a cheesecake if you like , but this is rich and scrumptious pie carries the unique flavor of Dulce de Leche . Your guests will be hooked at first bite. It’s sweet and decadent and a great alternative to plain cheesecake, pumpkin or sweet potato pie.
It can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 2 days. It takes less than 5 minutes to put together and an hour to bake!
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for a lovely dessert.
Ingredients
1 8 oz package of cream cheese, softened
1 13 oz can (2/3 cup) of Dulce de Leche
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs beaten
1 pie crust
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Meanwhile, in a food processor, beat the cream cheese with the Dulce de Leche and the vanilla till smooth ( about 2 minutes). Add the eggs and continue to mix till uniform.
Pour mixture into pie crust and bake for 55 to 60 minutes (depending on our oven) till the top has the consistency of a cooked pumpkin pie. Let cool before serving, enjoy with a dollop of whipped cream.
